I0 0!. whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PAUL LEISTNER, of the city of St. Louis, in theState of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement inCanopies for Garden-Tables, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is anelevation of my improved canopy applied to a garden-table, showing theshade raised or opened. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the shade down orclosed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail elevation of a portion of Fig. 4 isa horizontal section taken on line 4, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a verticalsection taken on line 5 5, Figs. 4.

My invention is an improved canopy for a table intended for garden oroutdoor use; and my invention consists in features of noveltyhereinafter fully describethand pointed out in the claims.

My invention relates to that class of canopies which simulate umbrellasor sunshades and to those canopies which are applied directl y to tablesfor support.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the table proper,supported on abase or legs, B,of any suitable construction or shape.

0 represents a sleeve, supported on the table in a vertical position.\Vithin this sleeve isa screw-threaded rod, D, supported through thetable on a frame, I), on which it turns,

and is turned by means of a bevel-wheel, J,

on its lower end meshing into a similar wheel, I, on a horizontal shaft,L, journaled in hangers M, and provided with a crank-handle or winch, N,by which itis turned to revolve the rod or shaft D.

N represents the shade,which is in the form of an umbrella, the topbeing secured to the top of the sleeve 0, and rods 0, connecting itscentral part to a ring, P, surrounding the sleeve above an adjustablecollar, T, on the shaft D, having aprojection, U, provided with SerialNo. 166,682.

(No modeld a spur or hook, V, the projection extending through a slot,\V, in the sleeve. The ring I? rests upon this projection of the collarinside the spur V, and it will be seen that as the shaft D is turned theupward movement of the collar will raise or open the shade, and as thecollar is lowered byturning the shaft in the other direct-ion the shadewill fall or close, the ring preferably not being secured to but simplyresting upon the collar, so that the shade can be raised withoutoperating the screw or threaded shaft.

I claim as my invention-- 1.

3. In combination with the table, slotted sleeve supported by the table,shade secured to the sleeve, threaded shaft within the sleeve, collar onthe shaft with a lug projecting through the slot in the sleeve beneath aring of the shade that surrounds the sleeve, and gearing for turning thethreaded shaft whereby the shade is raised, as set forth.
